Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hwdsl2/docker-ipsec-vpn-server/issues/71

Just a simple question about the docs:


Start the IPsec VPN server

Important: First, load the IPsec NETKEY kernel module on the Docker host:

sudo modprobe af_key

Is this step required every time the host is restarted, or just for first run of the container?

@hwdsl2 commented on GitHub (May 2, 2018):

@RickyRomero Hello! This step is not strictly needed as the Docker container will attempt to run modprobe from inside the container. Try and see if the container works without this step. Otherwise you'll need to run it on every reboot.
